Pick Up A Book.

My name is Kimberley and I'm just your average teenage bookworm. Have any recommendations, just pop the author/book title in my ask! :)

I Remember, I Remember

I remember, I remember, The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn; He never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the night Had borne my breath away.

I remember, I remember, The roses, red and white; The violets, and the lily-cups, Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday - The tree is living yet!

How to Leave the World that Worships should

Let faxes butter-curl on dusty shelves. Let junkmail build its castles in the hush of other people’s halls. Let deadlines burst and flash like glorious fireworks somewhere else. As hours go softly by, let others curse the roads where distant drivers queue like sheep. Let e-mails fly like panicked, tiny birds. Let phones, unanswered, ring themselves to sleep. Above, the sky unrolls its telegram, immense and wordless, simply understood: you’ve made your mark like birdtracks in the sand - now make the air in your lungs your livelihood. See how each wave arrives at last to heave itself upon the beach and vanish. Breathe. Seaside Sonnets

“So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”

I just wish that God or my parents or Sam or my sister or someone would just tell me what’s wrong with me. Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense

It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.

I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.

Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.
